Andrea Q. Robinson held court at the Ralph Lauren store on Madison Avenue in New York, as friends gathered to celebrate her book Toss the Gloss: Beauty Tips, Tricks & Truths for Women 50+. Well-wishers included David Lauren, Allen Burke and Allure’s Linda Wells. Standing behind an elegant glass display case decorated with a vase of pink peonies, Robinson signed copies of the book while guests sipped flutes of Champagne. Next up for Robinson: a product line geared towards the very women she’s written the book for. “It’s such an ignored market,” said the veteran executive, “and we have all the spending power.”
